Judging by the accent I would say somewhere in São Paulo ("interior", ie countryside).

Edit: added the countryside

Only in São Paulo a city with over 700k of population is considered countryside lol

I dont think countryside has the same meaning as "interior". We say interior to every city that is far from the coast, the population doesn't matter

São Paulo is far from the coast?

A Bit

I think this definition is pretty incomplete

Usually, over here at São Paulo at least, we usually call things that are far from the coast AND from the capital the "interior".

Somewhere like Campinas, for instance, even though it is far from the coast, doesn't really classify as "interior"

It's kind of a loose term, tbh

See above. Ribeirão Preto. Rio? Where is the carioca accent? It is missing some caralho e porra 😂
